Cute updated cabin with a rich history on small lake. It was central to all the places and things we visited. Suzzie was an excellent host. We had our family of 5 there for the weekend and it was a great place to stay. We'll be back in the future.

The cabin is so comfy and homey. We loved the setting and could watch birds as we ate on the deck. Centrally located for birding. Only 30 minutes from several hot birding/hiking spots. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hope to be back soon.

This cabin is far enough in the country for peace & privacy, yet within a 10-15 min drive to food, shopping & entertainment! We spoiled ourselves & ate out all weekend, but the kitchen is supplied for all your cooking needs. Wonderful sheets & towels as well!!! We can’t wait to go back🙂
